This article (about one of the world's most important seas) was recently "Collaboration of the month" over at WP:ACID and thus has seen much improvement. A couple of times now people have requested either a peer review or a GA nomination, and I think a review would be extremely useful for the editors to further spruce up the article.
The lead section is too short to be a proper summary of the article. Someone along the way added another paragraph, and it flows much more smoother than a while back.
More citations may be needed in many parts of the article. As an example, the 12-nautical mile territorial claim documented in the "Political status" section.
In the "Basic data" section, I'd like to have a basis for comparison on the salinity. Could the article list the typical North Atlantic and Mediterranean salinities?
Of the major oceans, the North Atlantic is the saltiest; its salinity averages about 37.9 o/oo....- in parts per thousand, for which the symbol o/oo is used.[1]
In the Mediterranean, the seawater has a salinity of approximately forty (parts per thousand), while the Atlantic Ocean, on the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar, has a salinity of thirty five (ppt).[2]
Even though the salinity is added above, the Basic Data section has already been updated. SriMesh | talk 23:41, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to see the bulleted list in the "Water circulation" section converted into a table so that the reader can more readily compare the flow rates of the different rivers. Right now the rates are not aligned in a column.
In the first sentence of the "Coasts" section, shouldn't the jagged coasts be the "eastern" coasts? Why is "East" capitalized (in both locations)? Is it a name?
Not done Some measure of the shipping tonnage passing through the sea would be informative (in the "Marine traffic" section) to demonstrate the relative importance of this body of water.
"Culture and languages" has a caption for a deleted image.
Wherever possible it would be good to show the author, publication date and publisher in the citations. At least three of the citations are empty (7-9), and one (48) is showing a URL rather than the title. Tried to fill out the citations as fully as possible for author, publication date and publisher. The citations 7-90 and 48 were fixed.
